The Schedule reIfenedrto in these -Letters Patent and making pm of the same.

VI, Eli/mors RITCHIE, of -the city of Troy, in the county of `Rensselaer and State of NewYork,have invented certain Improvements in Gooking- Stoves, of which the`followingis`a specilication. l

My improvements.relate to an invention for which ine June 29, and antedated June 15, 1869, the main feature of which invention consists in extending the the lower part ot' the rear portion of' theV baking-oven backward beyond the upper portion, and in combining therewith a water-reservoir or other vesselsupported over such rear extension. y

The present invention eonsists-A First, in the arrangement `witha baking-oven, provided with-a rearwardly extended lower portion, of the flue-s and exit-passage, the latter being arranged in ii'ont of such rca-r extension, as hereinafter fully shown and described. i

Second, in extendingr the top' and` side platesgof the stove backward, and the rear plate of the oven extension upward, so asto inclose the space above such rear extension ofthe oven. I

g-oven, ar-

rangedv wholly in rear of such re-chamber.

tension A thereof, as clearly shown.,

II is the return and 11p-cast flue, terminating at the stove,immediately` at the rear of the damper m, and iny front of thereservoir J, arranged overthe oven The top plate j? andside plates g g of the stove I extend backward, `and theouter plate It, at the rear of the oven extensions A', upward, so as to inclose the space over such oven extension and surround the water-#reservoir J, when the latter is arranged over `the exteusion'A', as represented in the drawinf.

A This extension of the outer plates forms an outer casing for the water-reservoir, andobstructs, toa certain extent, the radiation of thheat therefrom. It enables the place at the top of thestove occupied by the reservoir to be used `for other purposes, when-ie quired, by simply removing 'the latter and closing the hole inthe top plate by a suitable cover, provided i with smaller holes to receive kettles or other vessels.

It also preserves the usual and re ternal appearance of the stove.

'The warming-oven is cast`with and the stove proper, and, Abeing arranged directly under the-fire-chamber and ash-pit, is subjected to a greater heat vthan when .it is' arranged under the projecting hearth, and made separate from the lest of the stove.

gnlar form and exliig. III'represents a modification of my invention, in which the up-cast flue is shown, at H', as passing upward as a projection from and backof the rear plate oftlie stove,and opening iutofthe vent or exit-passage 1',.also arranged at the rear, as represented.

rlhe direction which the draught takes is obvious, and is represented by the arrows in the drawing.

The arrangement of the fines, damper, and exitpassnge-'enables the front portion of the stove to be used whenreqnired without heating the back portion, as the opening'of the damper m permits the draught to pass directly into the vent I, without coming in con'-4 tact with t-he rear of the oven or the extension thereo l.

2. In combination with the baking-oven A, provided with a lower Arear extension, A', the extension of the outer top, rear, and side plates, f, h, and g g, till they intersect each other, so as to iuclose the space over the extension A,as and for the purpose hereinbefore #set forth.

3. The arrangement of the warming-oven E under the fire-chamber B, and in front of the oven A, arranged wholly in rear, of such nre-chamber, and separated from thc warming oven, al1 as herenbefore Witnesses J AY HYATT, y M. E.v BIDWELL.
